Corrigall Farm Museum is a traditional 'but and ben' laid out as a typical Orkney farmhouse and steading in Victorian/late 19th century period. The site has a working barn, grain kiln, horse-drawn machinery and livestock, making an interesting visit for children and adults.
Visitors can explore the farm and farmyard complete with roaming hens, cats and kittens and other farm animals to feed and pet. Children can also dress up in period clothes and experience what life was like in an Orcadian farm home.
A traditional peat fire helps recreate the atmosphere of times gone by. The buildings are filled with authentic artefacts, giving it a lived-in look. The round tower of the kiln at the end of the barn shows how grain was dried or malted to make ale.
